    G.J.B.A.H.S.,Vol.2(3):28-31 (July – September, 2013) ISSN: 2319 – 5584 BIOINSECTICIDE TEST OF CRUDE STEM BARK EXTRACTS OF SOME MELIACEOUS PLANTS AGAINST SPODOPTERA LITURA Tukiran Chemistry Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Surabaya Jl. Ketintang, Surabaya, 60231, East Java, Indonesia. Abstract In the study of screening for bioinsecticides from plants, the activity of the stem bark extracts of some Meliaceous plants growth in Indonesia, namely Aglaia odorata Lour, Aglaia odoratissima Blume, Aglaia elaeagnoidea A.Juss, Sandoricum koetjape Merr. and Xylocarpus moluccensis (Lamk.) M.Roem was investigated. Solvent residues of these stem bark of plants were obtained from different solvent extracts (hexane, chloroform and methanolic extracts). All extracts dissolved in distilled water and added tween 80 (a few drops) as emulsifying agent were separately tested at various concentration (mg/L) continuously for 1, 2 and 3 days on the third instar larvae of the armyworm, Spodoptera litura. The results indicated the presence of bioinsecticide effect which was maximum of Sandoricum koetjape. This plant extracts (hexane and methanolic extracts) gave enough sensitive effects to the third instar larvae with LC50s of 104.24 and 170.23 mg/L, respectively after 3 days of application. Meanwhile, other plant extracts showed much less sensitive and relatively insensitive after 3 days of application because their LC50 values were more than 200 and 1500 mg/L, respectively. Keywords: Bioinsecticide, Lethal Concentration (LC50), Meliaceae, Spodoptera litura. 1. Introduction Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous insect pest (Holloway, 1989). It is an indigenous pest of a variety of crops in South Asia and was found to cause more than 26-100% yield loss in groundnut (Dhir et al., 1992 as stated by Muthusamy et al., 2011).

For one year of the investigation, monthly data of tree leaf phenology, inside bark diameter (IBD) and outside bark diameter (OBD) increments were examined. These data were related to soil moisture content and climatic data of monthly rainfall, temperature and relative humidity. The results showed that leaf phenology of A. odoratissima and H. ilicifolia illustrated leaf maturation throughout the year, while young leaves were abundant in the rainy season and leaf abscission was rarely found throughout the year. The IBD increments of these species on transverse surfaces could be detected throughout the year and the most rapid increments were detected in the rainy season, while OBD increments of both species shrank in the dry season and swelled in the rainy season. Using path analysis (PA), climate variability was found to be significantly related to leaf phenology of A.

Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) is a paleotropical tree genus comprising myrmeco- phytic and non-myrmecophytic species. All species are presumed to possess food bodies (FBs) to maintain or attract ants as anti-herbivore defence. 2. The hypothesis was tested that Macaranga species differing in their mode of association with ants would produce FBs differing in their chemical composition. We investigated contents of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in FBs of four myrmeco- phytic and one non-myrmecophytic Macaranga as well as one Parthenocissus (Vitaceae) species. 3. On a dry weight basis, FBs of myrmecophytes contained relatively higher amounts of proteins compared to carbohydrates than those of non-myrmecophytes. Soluble carbohydrates showed species-specific patterns and were found in especially high amounts in both non-myrmecophytes. Furthermore, Parthenocissus FBs contained higher amounts of soluble compared to polymerous substances not only in carbo- hydrates but also in proteins. 4. FBs seem to be specifically adapted to their respective role in ant attraction and nutrition, with myrmecophytes providing ants with high amounts of lipids and proteins and non-myrmecophytes mainly offering carbohydrates in the form of common soluble sugars. Key-words: Ant–plant interaction, insect nutrition, mutualism, myrmecophytism Functional Ecology (1998) 12, 117–122 Introduction Because of their foraging activities, these provide at least some protective effect for the plants (Fiala, Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) is a genus of important Grunsky et al.

Contents Introduction 1 Lao Flora Listed by Lao Script 13-121 Lao Flora Listed by Genus and Species 123-238 Introduction This introduction1 provides a brief synopsis of the forest habitats and ecoregions found in Lao PDR, as well as an overview of the related research on plant taxonomy. This is followed by a description of the structure and contents of the present volume and a citation of sources used to compile the present checklist. 1. Forest habitats and ecoregions in Lao PDR 1.1. Forest habitats Forest classifications can be vegetation-related (which implies that the factors used to distinguish forests are the physiognomic or floristic characteristics of the vegetation), biophysically- and climate-related (where broad environmental or geographic characteristics become the distinguishing factors), or management- related (which involves utilizing combinations of vegetation and non-vegetation criteria). These modes of classification are scale-specific: while global-scale classifications are largely based on climatic criteria such as rainfall and temperature, classification systems used at country- or smaller regional-level scales emphasise floristic and physiognomic characteristics as well as physical site factors (Wong, Delang, Schmidt-Vogt, 2007). These latter variables were taken into account by the National Office of Forest Inventory and Planning (NOFIP) when it classified the forests of Lao PDR (Manivong and Sandewall, 1992).

  • Diversity of the Tree Flora in Semenggoh Arboretum, Sarawak, Borneo
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 64(1): 139–169. 2012 139 Diversity of the tree flora in Semenggoh Arboretum, Sarawak, Borneo C.Y. Ling1 and S. Julia2 Botanical Research Centre, Sarawak Forestry Corporation, Km 20, Jalan Puncak Borneo, 93250 Kuching, Sarawak [email protected] (corresponding author) [email protected] ABSTRACT. A 4-ha sample plot was established at the Arboretum, Semenggoh Forest Reserve to document tree species in this lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. The area assessed contains 2837 trees with diameter at breast height ≥ 10 cm belonging to 60 families, 160 genera and 541 species. Euphorbiaceae and Malvaceae (10 genera each) were the most diverse families at genus level and Dipterocarpaceae (61 species) is most diverse at species level. More than 25% of trees (720 individuals) were dipterocarps and contributed the highest basal area (cross-sectional area over-bark at breast height measured in m2) of 16.7 m2/ha. The most abundant species are Shorea multiflora (21 trees/ha) and Pouteria malaccensis (31 trees/ha) for dipterocarp and non-dipterocarp species, respectively. Semenggoh Arboretum has a rich and diverse flora and, being a natural primary forest in the middle of an increasingly developed area, Semenggoh is important as a genetic reservoir for threatened species (particularly the dipterocarps) and as an in-situ conservation site for Sarawak’s lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. Keywords. Borneo, Dipterocarpaceae, Sarawak, Semenggoh Arboretum, tree diversity Introduction Floristic composition studies or floristic analyses are a useful tool to understand the spatial pattern of plant composition and diversity. When combined with ecological, environmental, geological and historical variables, important information on mechanisms maintaining high levels of tree species diversity in tropical forest can be obtained (Slik et al.
